NoGravity

OP, Here. The premise is that gravity would stop for a short period of time for up to one minute in the vicinity of the earth but not as far out as the other planets. The multiple episodes of no gravity, quantity as yet undetermined, would occur over a period of time and increase from fractions of a second to the one minute scenario. The cause of this will be explained in the story. The one minute scenario is the last episode of no gravity. I am not intending to kill off everyone in an end of the world sense and don't think that is necessary which will create tension in the story. Anyone wanting to be a beta reader can message me privately. You can do that right? Thanks to everyone. I have learned a lot from the discussion. Again as a newbie, I know I can't play that card too often, but where would be the appropriate place to ask the question. Why didNASA turned off all the Apollo era ALSEP data streams at one time on 30 SEP '77? Thank you!

Yes, all gravity in the vicinity of earth, including the moon, but not as far as the next nearest planets.

Hi, I'm a newbie here. My question is this. Using the space shuttle as an example, how much fuel would be saved if gravity stopped at the moment of liftoff for 1 second, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds and one full minute? I may be using this info in a SF story I am writing. Thanks!
